This Tyler Durden does not write as if he knows much, if anything, about the US Navy or the International Law of the Sea. Ever since before World War Two, US full-sized carriers have had compliments of 85 to 100 combat aircraft and when they sailed on deployments they were escorted by a anti-aircraft/surface protective compliment of ships: destroyers, cruisers and after Pearl Harbor, battleships plus replenishment oilers for fuel and supplies.

During peacetime, if you were sailing outside the 12 nautical miles (13.8 mi/22.2 km)of all countries' Territorial waters, you had the international right to do so at your discretion. These days it is the Chinese Communists sole intent to make the entire South China Sea, an area of some 1,400,000 square miles (3,500,000 sq km) their very own "Territorial Waters" completely under their sovereignty where no other nations' ship may enter without their expressed permission.

This we cannot allow and since the Obama Administration did practically nothing to discourage Red China's actions, islands-building or ambitions there, our navy making normal unfettered access patrols there is imperative to support international Law of the Sea.

Tyler Durden's main interest here appears to show how President Trump is upsetting the apple cart by sending in a carrier of which he know nothing about--

Talk about you typical Not Only Fake... But Incomplete, Misleading, Not Informative News?

Gadzooks, campers-- Durden does not know his Five Ws, much less... the US Navy's deployments nor his arse from his elbow.
